This govt getting full parliament support behind a 30-year infrastructure plan is great, but it's more hope than optimism as to whether it will stick.
UK govt admits the U16 Social Media Ban won't work, and teens will get around it. It's just a checklist item, a set-and-forget bandaid to say "oh well, we tried", instead of continuing to find a real solution to the problem.
One of the many arguments against blocking social media for young people is the restriction of information. With YouTube's main intention being a search engine, how does it fit into the Social Media Ban conversation?
Another day, another poll, this time showing and uptick in support for the greens, meaning the left-bloc in winning position. But one trend is continuous - National are struggling to return to the 30's, stuck at 29%
Chris Bishop will be a happy man, gaining full parliament support for a 30-year infrastructure plan, as put forth originally by the NZ Infrastructure Commission. But there are decades of maintenance that has been neglected and a $200b deficit on existing and future infrastructure works.
The UK have announced their social media ban for under 16s, following Australia's world-leading example. NZ's Education Minister Erica Stanford has indicated this is on her priority list with possible options for what NZ could be implementing as well.
BHN's own Dr. Gary Payinda reacts to Simeon Brown's refusal to re-appoint the current Chair and Deputy Chair of the Medical Council, and mentions other independent councils that oversee public sector professionals that have been at the mercy of this Govt's agenda.
Labour have targeted a key demographic, the true squeezed middle, young people starting families at a time when living costs for a couple with no kids is already a struggle.
Two top economists have run the numbers and debunked Nat's absurd claims of billions putting more realistic numbers forward re: Labour's election promise to cap public transport - a policy that has been widely positively received.
Simeon Brown has interfered with the Medical Council of NZ's leadership process and declined to re-appoint the chairperson and deputy chairperson of the council despite seeking to continue in their positions for the next term. Simeon citing the council has become "increasingly distracted by politics" referring to a recent consultation regarding cultural competency.
